It's her fifth Oscar nomination, but is it Julianne Moore's turn to win this year?

The 54-year-old actress is nominated in the Best Actress category for her portrayal of a mother with early-onset Alzheimer's disease in Still Alice, and she told Parade that she wants to win her first Academy Award for this role.

"That's the nomination from your peers. It's a very, very big deal," she says.

Moore was honored with a Golden Globe and a SAG award for the role, but ultimately she walked away with a message from the movie that she hopes viewers also get from it.
